Hello

Is it true that fscan is confused with comment lines and is there a way to add comments in a text file that needs to be read by fscan?

Here's how to figure out for yourself:
First, review the Programmer's Reference documentation of fscan.
Second, search ModelDB for NEURON models that contain examples of use of fscan.
Third, create a toy program that you can use to test fscan.
